Elevated CO2 leads to altered micromechanical properties of the mineralized cuticle in blue and red king crabs
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2014)
Evaluating the Effects of Ocean Acidification on the Mechanical Properties of King Crabs and Tanner Crabs
(2014)
Ocean Acidification (OA) is a decrease in the ocean’s pH caused by increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. Dissolution of CO2 in ocean water results in decreased CaCO3 saturation states, which affect the ability of ...
Assessing the effect of salinity on barnacle adhesion and biomineralization
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2015)
Barnacles are dominant members of marine biofouling communities throughout much of the world’s oceans. The base of the
barnacle attaches to surfaces with secreted proteinaceous adhesives that bond with surfaces and cure. ...
Characterizing key proteins that contribute to barnacle adhesion
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2015)
Barnacles can tenaciously adhere to almost any surface. To stick to a surface, glues are released and form an adhesive bond
between the surface and the barnacle's base plate. The predomi-nantly proteinaceous glue is ...
Determining the Impacts of Salinity on the Biochemical and Mechanical Properties of Barnacles
(2015)
We attempted to determine how varying salinity can impact the barnacle. We worked under the hypothesis that barnacles developed in higher and lower salinities than ambient conditions would display significantly lower shell ...
Determining the impacts of ocean acidification on the biochemical and mechanical properties of marine invertebrates
(2016)
Ocean Acidification (OA) is a reduction in the ocean’s pH, as a result of accumulating levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. The break down of CO2 in an oceanic environment leads to decreased CaCO3 saturation states. In this ...
Shell growth, mechanics, and structural properties of adult & juvenile barnacles
(2021)
Barnacles are found throughout the world’s oceans, and their success depends on a hard, mineralized, outer shell that protects the soft tissue. Prevention and removal of barnacles from vessels and structures in the ocean ...
Assessing the effects of climate change on Antarctic and snow crabs
(2017)
The effects of Climate Change in the form of pH, temperature, and salinity variation on crab shell formation were assessed. By the year 2100, projections based on “business-as-usual” emissions suggest a further doubling ...
The effect of helium ion radiation on the material properties of bone
(Springer, 2021-06)
